Consumer Description

MY MOTORCYCLE STARTED LEAKING GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A DAY RIDE AND PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE, SO THAT BY THE END OF THE DAY, GAS WAS POURING OUT ONTO THE SIDE OF MY ENGINE AND ONTO MY BOOT, PANT LEG AND FORMING A GOOD SIZE PUDDLE ON THE ASPHALT WHERE PARKED. I ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY ($550 FOR THE PART, $850 TOTAL COST INSTALLED). I WANT BMW USA TO RECALL THIS PART AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THERE ARE MULTIPLE INTERNET THREADS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. MANY BMW OWNER'S LIVES ARE AT RISK OF CATCHING ON FIRE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MECHANICS AND THEY AGREE, THIS IS A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING. *TT
